It's all public information but I am a member of a few different investment newsletters plus I've been in the precious metals industry for 10 years now. A good place to read more about it is GoldSilver.com. They have a great news section and you can also follow the price there. You can purchase directly from them or JMBullion.com, SDBullion.com or Apmex.com. These are all great sources. You can't go wrong buying 1oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf coins. They have a low premium and are some of the purest silver coins aruond.
